Your car looks Great. The Best of Luck to You This Year.

As you i will be a newcomer to Stock Elim. this year, after a 30 year lay-off
from driving.

I was just wondering if the wrap you put on your car is costly ????
Or is it just as much as a nice paint job....

I posted this over at Moparts......

For Frrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee
(Doing my best Adam Sandler impersonation)

Wraps are becoming competitive.

There is a REASON GatorWraps has a much real estate on our car as they do.

Originally it was to be wrapped at Pomona, but we busted going there.

But our Title sponsor picked up the rest of the cost.....

Call a bunch of wrap companies tell them where and how you will be competing, out of the 3 I called all 3 would do it under cost for real estate (under 1500)

Racing wraps have BIG market potential for these companies, and most of the companies are smaller and trying to make a name for themselves in performace/racing application

GatorWraps.com for example.

So, for us even IF we had to cover the full cost of $1500 (thats about the "at cost" price) but only 1 had a good graphics guy (GatorWraps)

The only reason I picked GatorWraps was they were out of Pomona and Vegas so they had installers in that area.

Id call around and "pitch" them, explaining, Sportsman racers are just starting to see the value in wraps, in your local area you will be seen at the track often, use us as an example of how they can promote the wrapping and the exposure....see if they would do it "at cost" if they get say a 14x24 spot somewhere, like I said 2 companies I called out of the blue were all game. 1 was in Ohio and the other we ended up using.

I like it because like others have mentioned, time to sell, bored of the look......rrrrriiiiiippppppp, start over. THAT I like, I have a short attention span.....what was I talking about..? Oh nevermind

Im "thinking" there will be at least 1 record today possibly (no not us, unless you count the first Official NHRA reprimand for "Delay of Game" for me running a 26 second pass in the Pacifica for a GP, and no they didnt reprimand me Im kidding)

But cars seem to be running good (ceptin us) and people are very happy and seeming guarded about Gainesville and teardowns, etc....

Thanks for all the information on "the wrap".

I'm raising a glass now to your car finally being out there on the track.

I think you should show your car off here in the east coast....
